Ryan Reynolds’ choice to joke about his wife Blake Lively’s controversial legal battle with Justin Baldoni has reportedly downplayed the severity of her allegations, potentially discouraging other abuse victims from speaking out, experts have warned.
Ryan and Blake have kept quiet about the lawsuit, where Blake accused Justin of trying to run a smear campaign against her.
However, Justin denies the allegations and has since responded with a defamation lawsuit of his own in which he has accused Blake and Ryan of attempting to take over the movie's direction.
Blake, 37, made her first public appearance since filing a sexual harassment lawsuit against her It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni, 41, last year.
Jokes made by Reynolds about his wife's lawsuit minimises her claims and distances Reynolds from being her partner in a situation that is Blake's alleged reality.".
